Notes:

I am an energetic and enthusiastic teacher. I have had a lot of performance experience, including going on tours with a Jazz-Fusion orchestra, and won several awards including Rutland Young Musician of the Year in 2001 and was part of a trombone quartet that won the Birmingham Conservatoire's Bernard Brown Brass Ensemble Prize in 2006. I am fully committed to the improvement and inspiration of young music students.

I am fully DBS-checked and can provide proof of this to you if necessary. My certificate is on the update service.

For practical lessons, I follow the ABRSM syllabus if this is what you are looking for.

For Grade 5 Theory lessons, students are not entered into the examination until I am confident that they will pass first time. As a result, my students have achieved a 100% first-time pass rate. The average completion time is around 3-4 months.

I offer 10% off the first 10 instrumental lessons, and 10% off the first 5 Theory lessons. Discounts are also available if you have two family members wanting to learn at the same time.

GCSE, BTEC Level 2 & 3 and A/S/A2 Level Music qualification tuition is also available, both due to my teaching background and also because I am an examiner and moderator for major exam boards.

I can provide lessons at your house or my own, and can also provide online tuition (best suited for theory students). I can cover Rutland, Grantham, Stamford, Peterborough, Corby, Kettering and Leicestershire should you prefer tuition from home.
